Now,
out of the bedroom and in to the kitchen. There are
so many must-haves I'm not sure where to begin. Of
all the rooms in the house it's most important to
look sexy in the kitchen, right Santa? Don't try to
tell me that you don't get a twinkle in your eye every
time Mrs. Claus straps on her apron to whip you up
some cookies. So to keep things cookin' (wink, wink),
don't forget one of Kitsch'n
Glam's flirty little aprons. Of all the vintage
designs, the Strawberry Shortcake is my favorite.
It should go without saying that heels bring out the
vixen in me. But cook in them? Forget about it. Instead,
how 'bout the High
Heel Cake Server from Uncommon Goods? A glass
slipper did wonders for Cinderella.
I'd like to break last year's record for throwing
fabulous dinner parties, so in 2006 let's up my style
quotient with Julia
Knight's Red Leather (I feel frisky already) Barware.
It comes with everything from a double jigger to a
cocktail tray, all covered in faux crocodile, lipstick
red leather. And with all those Cosmopolitans and
lemon drops I'm bound to be mixing, I'll definitely
need the Mr.
& Mrs. Jones lemon/lime juicers from 2Jane.
Besides, what could start the party better than squishing
a fragrant lemon over those quirky little heads? This
is one you'll have to see to believe, Santa. And for
the antipasti, I'm famous for offering the finest
salami. Cheeseboards are a given, so now I need the
salami
board by Dean & Deluca. Handcrafted from wood,
the board will let me be gentle yet firm with my salami.
A winning combo if you ask me. I'll need a little
inspiration to keep things interesting, and the
Williams-Sonoma Foods of the World book collection
is sure to do the trick. The books are filled with
history, lifestyle and recipes from the most romantic
spots in the world. But which should I pick? Barcelona,
Rome, New York, San Francisco? Surprise me!
I'd like to use my final wish, Santa, to request a
treat for my sweetheart. I can't help it-I'm a giver.
At lunch a bologna sandwich and a bag of chips just
won't do for my guy. He deserves Dean
& Deluca's Working Class Hero, their signature
lunchbox packed with Select Osetra caviar, crème
fraiche, spreaders and a flask for the ultimate lunch
break.
Well, that should do it for this year, Santa. Don't
worry, I won't be bad between now and Christmas morning.
And if I am, I'll be so bad, I'll be good (wink).
Happy Holidays!
xoxo,
Melissa Wilbanks
